Grow Dat Farm Dinner 2025

You're invited to an evening of dining and community at Grow Dat Youth Farm in service of youth leadership and sustainable agriculture!

Every spring, Grow Dat collaborates with New Orleans chefs and service industry professionals to host our farm dinner fundraiser. Set against the backdrop of the bayou and underneath the Big Oak tree, our annual farm dinner is an opportunity to showcase our work and unite our supporters for an unforgettable evening in service of youth leadership and sustainable agriculture.

From a cocktail hour, to youth-led farm tours, to a family-style meal curated by local chefs, this event invites guests to connect to our mission, the soil beneath our feet, the delicious food on our plates, and the joyful company at our table. Proceeds from our farm dinner support Grow Dat youth leaders as we collectively grow 50,000 pounds of food for our New Orleans community this year.

This year's theme is "Entwined Roots" which aims to celebrate the diverse flavors of New Orleans cuisine through the histories and migration of its people. We have invited local chefs to prepare a dish that exemplifies the flavors and ingredients of their place of origin or connection, and of course, incorporating Grow Dat produce.
